I enjoyed the dances from Kimberly, Dani, Nicky and Denise last night. Not sure who should be in the bottom two, but sure to be a surprise.

Glad that Michael stayed. He is the one who has improved the most IMO.

I think the only two celebrities certain for the final are Denise and Dani. Although it pains me to say it,possibly Louis but it depends on his acting skills. I would prefer to see Lisa/Robin in the final as they have the best partnership this year without a doubt. She was given a hard time last week by the judges let's hope she picks herself up and her and Robin are top of the leader board.

According to The Sun, Bruce Forsythe had to go home during rehersals because he felt ill. If he is too ill for tonight's show he'll probably be replaced by Claudia Winkleman. Get well soon, Bruce.

According to The Metro, Kimberly is favourite to win, with Lisa second favourite. Dani is the least favourite to win.

LISA RILEY was boogying for the bigger girl during the current series of Strictly – and says dancing was “better than sex”.

The actress — who became the tenth celeb to leave the show last night — went from a size 26 to an 18 and said being on the show made her feel “like a princess”.

But while she feels more fit, fabulous and confident, Lisa reckons she’s too busy dancing to find love. The actor, part of the SCD tour after Christmas, said: “Dancing has been better than sex for me.

“It’s had to be. I’m too busy for anything else at the moment.

“We’ve been dancing 11-hour days then having physio — we’re so busy.”

The ex-Emmerdale star was in the dance-off with Denise van Outen, who the judges unanimously saved.

Lisa, whose mum Cath died weeks before Strictly started, also revealed that big-hearted Denise helped her through her grief.

She now wants Denise or children’s TV star Dani Harmer to win. Lisa, who cried after her exit, will be back for a group dance in Saturday’s final show.

She told TV Biz: “I was devastated to leave.

“Never before on Strictly had the entire gallery been in tears.

“Everyone knows I wear my heart on my sleeve.

“I did cry but I’m not sad, I’ve had the best outcome in the world.

“The main reason is that I’ve given big girls a voice for the first time ever — we’re not unfit.

“I rode that staircase faster than my dance partner Robin Windsor did. Big girls don’t just eat curry!”
